General Personal Injury FAQs — Columbus

• ❓Do I have to take a low offer or can we fight for a better result?
  You never have to accept a lowball. We negotiate hard with insurers, and when needed we move toward a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments. Our case histories include results such as 949K. The goal is simple: fair compensation for your losses in Columbus.
• ❓What should I do if Allstate says “The provider overcharged for services.” after my Columbus crash?
  Insurers like Allstate often use lines such as “The provider overcharged for services.” to stall or minimize claims. Even injuries like laminectomy or discectomy can be life-changing. In Columbus, we gather medical proof, challenge delay tactics, and, if needed, push for a plaintiff verdict reached after closing arguments — outcomes in our files include results up to 2.41M.
• ❓Will a gap in my medical care ruin my case in Columbus?
  Not necessarily. Life, work, and delayed onset symptoms happen. We explain the timeline and connect you with appropriate providers. When adjusters say “There’s a question about your seatbelt use.,” we counter with consistent documentation so the insurer can’t weaponize normal scheduling gaps.
• ❓How do I respond if the adjuster claims my injuries were pre-existing?
  Even if you had prior issues, the law in Columbus allows recovery when a crash aggravates a condition. We show the before/after difference with records and expert testimony — critical for injuries like paralysis (partial or complete). Don’t accept “The policyholder wasn’t clearly at fault.” at face value.
• ❓An adjuster told me “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses..” Can a Columbus personal injury lawyer still help?
  Yes. Adjusters regularly say “We’re waiting on statements from witnesses.,” even when liability and damages are strong. We document fault with police reports, witnesses, and experts, then negotiate with carriers like Foremost Insurance. If they won’t deal fairly, we prepare for a binding arbitration resulted in favorable award and pursue full compensation.
• ❓The insurance company says my treatment wasn’t necessary — do I have options?
  Absolutely. Carriers (e.g., Westfield Insurance) often second-guess medical care to cut payouts. For clients such as a mail carrier hit in residential area with nerve compression injury, we use treating-physician opinions, imaging, and billing audits to prove care was reasonable and related to the crash.
